The Confluence EAR-WAR edition is intended for deployment into an existing J2EE application server.

To use this method of installation, you or your application server administrator must already know how to deploy a web application on the application server of choice. If not, please use the Confluence Standalone edition instead.

On this page:

System Requirements for Confluence EAR-WAR Edition

  1. Please check the Confluence system requirements.
  2. In addition to the above requirements, the EAR-WAR edition requires an application server. Here are our guidelines on compatible and supported servers:

    Supported and Compatible J2EE Application Servers

    Confluence supports the following application servers, provided they are running on a Windows, Unix (NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solarix, Linux), Mac OS X on X86 or X86-64 processors.

     

    Supported in Confluence 2.10 (OCT/2008)

    Works with Confluence 2.10 (star)

    Apache Tomcat

    5.5.20+, 6.0

    5.5

    BEA Weblogic

    9.2

    9.1, 10

    IBM Websphere Application Server 

    6.1

     

    Caucho Resin

    3.0, 3.1.6, 3.1.7

     

    JBoss

    4.2

     

    (star) Column labelled 'Works with' as opposed to 'Supported in': We assume that Confluence works fine with these application server versions. But please be aware that we don't test these versions regularly and that we may ask you to upgrade to a supported version before we can provide more detailed support.

    Please see configuration guides for supported application servers.

    If you have no preference, we recommend using Confluence Standalone which includes Apache Tomcat.

    Unsupported J2EE Application Servers

    For Confluence 2.10 and later, the following application servers are no longer supported:

    • Tomcat 5.0 — please upgrade to Tomcat 5.5 or 6
    • Resin 2 — please upgrade to Resin 3.0 or 3.1
    • JBoss 4.0.x — please upgrade to JBoss 4.2.x or higher.
      The decision to deprecate these platforms was announced previously.
    Potentially Compatible Application Servers

    (warning) The following application servers may work with Confluence. Whilst they are not known to possess any problems or incompatibilities with Confluence, they have not been sufficiently tested to be considered a compatible Application Server. Consequently, they are not supported.

    J2EE Application Servers:

    • Macromedia JRun

    Non J2EE Application Servers:

    Refer to the Supported Platforms FAQ.

    Known Incompatible J2EE Application Servers

    (warning) The following application servers may (in part) work with Confluence. However, they are known to possess problems or incompatibilities with Confluence and consequently are not supported.
    RELATED TOPICS:

  3. If deploying as an unexploded WAR, Ant 1.3 or later is required. This is bundled with the war download.
  4. Confluence, the database and application server must use the same character encoding. UTF-8 is recommended.
  5. If you are installing Confluence EAR-WAR on Unix, Linux or Solaris, please ensure that the required X11 libraries are installed.
